Artificially intelligent gamma ray imaging detectors.
Position sensitivity in a semiconductor detector is obtained from the signals induced on a segmented electrode structure on the semiconductor crystal surface during collection of the electric charges created where radiation interacts; these charges being moved by an applied electric field. Advanced signal processing is needed to obtain optimum performance in terms of position and energy resolution as well as count rate capability. The best performance is obtained when applying artificial intelligence techniques. In the project, optimized artificial intelligence algorithms will be developed, using laboratory measurements with a state-of-the-art detector to provide training data. The resulting improved imaging capabilities will be quantified. This project will be performed in consultation with Dr. Andreas Hauptmann from Oulu University.
